| 1. The signs are that the emergency services are working well. |
|
We need to be as calm as possible till we know the extent of the damage.

I'm hoping that the fact that I kept him up on AIM until 3:30 AM London time caused him to sleep in...

That was one term I've heard used this morning.
This is a newsgathering nightmare. Cellphone networks are down. Reports are the internet is also bogged down as well. Traffic is deadlocked and many areas are totally closed off. It's going to take a couple hours to get a clear picture what's happening.
Whatever has happened, it's of a major proportion. The pictures here show of a city prepared for the worst...and what appears to be a very quick, professional responses.
